Western Digital Wd2000 Driver For Mac

Western Digital Drive Manager was last released in December 2008 (really prior to this date). With the release of Snow Leopard, Drive Manager throws an error at least every 5 seconds (into the logs). Removing Drive Manager allows using the drive without filling the log with errors, but disables capabilities inherent to the design of the drive (e.g. Unmount the drive via pressing the button on the drive, etc). When does Western Digital plan to release an update to Drive Manager for compatibility with Snow Leopard? Here is what I found out from WDC Thank you for contacting Western Digital Customer Service and Support.

I apologize for this inconvenience. The WD Drive Manager is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.6. Please uninstall this software from your computer. Again, I apologize for this inconvenience. I hope that we have met your expectations today and that you are satisfied with our service.

If you have any further questions, please reply to this email and we will be happy to assist you further. I’ll see if I get a response to the question “Do they plan to update the software?”. Here is what I learned from WD when I asked how to uninstall and if they have any plans to update. You don’t need an uninstall software in order to remove WD Drive Manager from your computer. On Mac, all you have to do is open “Macintosh HD” from the desktop, open the Applications folder and drag & drop WD Drive Manager to the Trash Can. We are currently working on further updates for the WD Drive Manager.

However, we still don’t have an estimated date for its compatibility with Snow Leopard. Hope this helps! Are there any news on the driver update? To be honest, I find this quite annoying. I bought a Studio II just two months before Snow Leopard was released, but now I am waiting for more than six months for a driver update. I mean, this is not a legacy product we’re talking about and Snow Leopards developer seeds were available months before the official release.

Sorry, but this pretty much looks like you love to sell Mac branded products, but not to care for it. If I had known that the driver support for the Mac is that low priority on your schedule, I guess I wouldn’t have chosen a WD product (and I surely will think over this twice the next time). You suggest to remove the Driver Manager, but this would spoil the availability of seeing the drive status and a Raid system is meant to increase data safety. So what is worth this when not noticing a failing device. After all this is a huge disappointment.
